❤ Faction and Pretender God Selection

Players choose from an incredibly diverse selection of factions, each inspired by mythologies and cultures from around the world, such as Norse, Greek, Egyptian, and Aztec. The customizable pretender god, which leads and defines the faction, can take many fantastical forms - from powerful mages to massive titans and monsters. Carefully selecting the pretender god's appearance and abilities is a crucial early decision that shapes the playstyle and strategy for each game.

❤ Expansive, Customizable Armies

Building and managing armies is a core focus. Players can recruit a wide variety of fantastical unit types, from swordsmen and archers to dragons, demons, and undead horrors. Each unit has unique stats, equipment, and special abilities. Commanders can also lead armies, granting additional tactical options. The depth of customization allows players to specialize their forces in countless ways to suit their faction and playstyle.

❤ Spreading Dominion and Faith

Alongside military conquest, players must expand their divine influence by constructing temples and empowering priest units. This spreads the dominion and religious faith of the pretender god, providing strategic benefits such as granting bonuses to units or making it harder for rivals to operate in dominated provinces.

❤ Turn-Based, Tactical Combat

When armies clash, the battles play out automatically in a turn-based tactical system. Players issue general orders to their forces before the battle, such as formations and target priorities, but do not directly control the individual units. This creates an engaging metagame of preparation and strategy, as players try to anticipate their opponent's moves and counter them effectively.

❤ Diverse Magic System

Magic is a vital component, with a vast array of spells and rituals for players to research and utilize. The magic system is divided into multiple paths, each representing different schools of sorcery. Developing the right combination of magical capabilities is crucial for empowering armies, summoning powerful creatures, and disrupting enemy plans.

❤ Emergent Storytelling

Despite the lack of a traditional narrative, the rich lore and diverse faction options allow players to craft their own memorable, almost mythological tales of conquest, betrayal, and the struggle for divine ascension.

❤ Depth, Complexity, and Replayability

The sheer number of faction, unit, spell, and strategic options creates an almost endless array of viable playstyles and approaches. This depth, combined with the randomized map and scenario settings, ensures that each game offers a unique and challenging experience. While the steep learning curve may deter some, those willing to invest the time are rewarded with a profoundly engaging and replayable strategy game.
